Give him 3 years then. I am just not entirely sure Nobby wants long term contract. At least he will be able to attract new players when this squad breaks up in September.

I believe that after today the board must re-consider the position of Ricahrd Agar [& Richard Agar must also re-consider his position. This is not a knee-jerk re-action to the result today. I have had this opinion for a consider time. I do not believe that the club can allow 6-10 matches to go by, before 'stepping in'. I believe positive action should be taken now.
I am aware that the players should shoulder some responsibility but in the end the coach is the one who in my view is in charge of the team.

What do you think Robbo? As it stands where do you think we'll be by the end of the Easter programme?

IMO:
Leeds L
Hudds L
Crusaders W
Wigan L
Wakefield W
Harlequins W
Cas Draw
Bulls L
Catalans W
Rovers L
Warrington L

That would be 4 from 12 and the tipping point for most IMO.

Ideally it would happen like that but I'd still rather go with Noble coaching Agar/Rule's signings next year than letting Agar stay unless we undergo a radical transformation in the ten games.

The club won't get rid of Agar yet for a while unfornately

I think your being generous



Even with those 4 wins it would be time to call it a day IMO the chances of making the playoffs after a start like that would be slim to none which would be a massive failure on Agars part and would warrant a change in coaching regime. No excuses are going to cut it anymore as even the most ardant Hull fan is losing patience so surely the board would have to make a change after a start like that.

Can`t see us beating Crusaders.

Me neither tbh, but didn't want to be accused of leading the witness.

I hear what a lot on here are saying and don't like all this Agar out stuff but enough has to be enough. Other clubs have improved but from what I have seen so far this season we havn't. I agree that Agar doesn't miss tackles, or drop balls but he does organise our left sided defence and he does decide our tactics and pick the team AND the bench, for me as I said on another thread after that performance the clock has to be ticking on Mr. A.

Neither can i. There pivot player (1,6,7,9) were awesome today, showed real classy plays.

Would "Noble In" be a more positive way of looking at it?

"so far this season"?friendlies that mean nothing but run outs and 1 SL game in ?
Another fc "fan"embaressingly calling for the coach to go,lol.

perhaps we should start on Friday with a chorus of Goodbye Mr A

run along dear when we want your opinion we will ask flower

But you can come on our board and question our replies as though we're not allowed there either? Why so hostile?

what just like you was all hostile to me?whats good for one..............

Of course Agar doesn't miss tackles or give away penalties but he is responsible for recruitment, tactics, interchanges etc all of which he has proved to be inadequate at.

I can't be bothered at the mo to work out his win/loss record but I'm pretty sure it's about a 40% win record which is just not good enough.

How long the board is prepared to give him is anyone's guess though. If they wait until Easter the season is almost half over.

"Embarrassing" would be an armchair Rovers supporter coming on here shouting the odds, whilst unable to spell or punctuate correctly, and determining that lack of patience with our coach is based only on today's game when said coach has been employed for three years. No offence.

Before today Agar's win % in SL was 44.77% (not including caretaker spells or the playoff game).

And that's as good as it's going to get.

I think you are being a tad harsh there Andrea. PAC can have an opinion however misguided.

PCA Feelings towards Agar have built up over 3 YEARS not two friendlies and 1 game against our arch rivals, who happen to have a decent coach who gets his team well organised.

I noted today that in 2005 we played 4 friendly games. How many games did the winners this weekend play? Were we totally undercooked?

We had a delicious organic chicken today. Was lovely with some nice roast veg and proper yorkshires. Sprouts were a little overcooked though

I like the idea of Noble but Long wouldn't.

no hes a kr troll.

Noble and Sammut in Long out
